Torture chambers. Acid vats. Secret passageways. At the height of this criminal career, the infamous Dr. H. H. Holmes designed his castle of horrors in Chicago, where he rented rooms to unsuspecting victims visiting the 1893 World's Fair. Further benefiting from his victims, Holmes sold their skeletons to local medical schools.

Published for the first time since 1895, these three primary source books on the Holmes case are now available in one book:

  • Holmes' Own Story, by Herman W. Mudgett, alias H. H. Holmes
  • The HolmesPitezel Case, by Detective Frank Geyer
  • The Holmes Castle, by Robert Corbitt

    Also included is The Confession of H. H. Holmes as originally documented shortly before Holmes' execution.
